(3) Unless otherwise agreed after a revocable credit is established
it may be modified or revoked by the issuer without notice to or
consent from the customer or beneficiary.
(4) Notwithstanding any modification or revocation of a revocable
credit any person authorized to honor or negotiate under the terms
of the original credit is entitled to reimbursement for or honor of
any draft or demand for payment duly honored or negotiated before
receipt of notice of the modification or revocation and the issuer in
turn is entitled to reimbursement from its customer.
5—107. Advice of Credit; Confirmation; Error in Statement of
